Ielts writing Task 1 + 2

MODEL ESSAY:
While
it is true that 
watching TV affects children
, it is difficult to determine
whether 
it is the content of the programs 
or 
the length of time spent watching
them that 
has a more significant impact on
children. 
It seems to me that
although the amount of time does affect youngsters, it is the content of the
programs that 
has a more marked influence on 
them.
On the one hand
, the consequences of watching TV for long periods of time
can be deleterious. 
Firstly
, 
the longer 
children are exposed to TV programs,
the more likely it is 
for them to become addicted to watching television.
When children become over-reliant on television for entertainment, they
might
neglect engagement in outdoor activities. This 
may result in 
a
sedentary lifestyle that is highly detrimental to their physical health. 
More
importantly
, excessive TV watching impairs children’s communication
abilities, so they 
find it hard to 
play or live in harmony with others. 
As a
result
, children would 
feel discouraged from 
having real interactions with
people around them if they 
spent a huge amount of time 
in front of the
screen, 
which may 
hinder their development of social skills.
On the other hand
, it is the broadcasted images that 
have the most direct
effects on 
young viewers. 
Firstly
, in most countries the majority of TV shows
present glamorized depictions of inappropriate materials 
such as 
violence,
drug abuse or casual sex, thus youngsters may adopt unhealthy habits and
improper behavior. 
For example
, they 
might
fall under the impression that the
use of alcoholic drinks is fashionable without being aware of the health risks
they carry and later end up consuming these substances. 
Besides
, in our
modern consumer society, commercials also affect how children behave.
Unwary young viewers could be easily swayed by captivating advertisements
for junk food or video games, products 
whose
target audience includes
children, and so may pester their parents to buy these goods impulsively.

In conclusion
, 
although
both factors have their own implications, 
I believe
the element with more considerable impacts on children is the content.
Hence
, parental involvement 
is essential in controlling
children’s TV viewing
habits and in shaping a child’s values to help them enter adult life with a
healthy mind.
